I DESERVE A CHANCE. I DESERVE A CHANCE. I DESERVE A CHANCE!

(Toronto Canada)

I am a 21 year old natural point guard/shooting guard out of Toronto, Ontario. Now, I know whomever reads this is going to think, Ok hes 5'8 and 155, he doesnt have size, he doesnt have enough strength, What makes him think he can play professionally? My work ethic and ability to learn is unmatched. My effort going back court on defence is even stronger than the effort I put in to finding my spots and scoring the basketball. I have an exceptional ability to put myself in a position to score off of screens and the high pick and roll. My ability to drive to the basket without fear of contact allows me to get in close and find my open teammates the basketball on the perimiter. If I had to describe my style of play, it would be a mix of the quickness and agility of JJ Barea of the Dallas Mavericks, the pick and roll offence of Kyle Korver of the Chicago Bulls, the calm, collected shooting ability of Dirk Nowitzki and the hustle and ability to defend on the basketball like Russell Westbrook of Oklahoma City. I train rigurously, shooting over 500 shots a day, 4 days a week. The confidence and collectiveness I display on the court is that of an experienced leader. I am an unselfish, complete team player. On the court I believe that a team is an oiled machine. Every part of the machine has to flow and contribute in order for it to be successful. I have pondered the question of playing professionally all of my life, but doubted my chances because of my size. However, we have seen smaller players succeed in the NBA and other respective leagues, and I feel like with all the hardwork, relentless effort and time I put into our game of basketball, I deserve an opportunity to finally prove myself. 

Please, please contact me without hesitation at chris.mazza@live.com and I will respond immediately, open-mindedly and whole heartedly.

Thank you
